Experience Level: 10+ Years

Employment Type: Full-Time

What’s in it for You?

Technoidentity is seeking a high-performing QA Lead to drive end-to-end quality engineering, test architecture, and performance strategies across enterprise Web and API applications. In this role, you will bridge technical execution and delivery leadership—owning the automation framework architecture (Playwright), leading load and stress testing strategies (JMeter/k6), and mentoring a high-performing team of QA engineers.

What Will You Be Doing?

• Technical Leadership & Architecture
  • Framework Design & Strategy: Architect, scale, and maintain robust, scalable UI and API automation frameworks using Playwright with TypeScript/JavaScript/Java.
  • Performance Engineering: Define performance test strategies, workload models, and SLAs for Load, Stress, Spike, and Endurance testing using JMeter or k6.
  • CI/CD & DevOps Integration: Integrate test suites seamlessly into DevOps pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins) to facilitate continuous testing and shift-left practices.
  • AI & Innovation: Lead the exploration and adoption of AI-powered QA tools and generative AI workflows to optimize test generation, execution speed, and coverage.
• Delivery & Stakeholder Management
  • Quality Ownership: Define quality metrics, test strategy documents, and performance benchmarks (Response Time, Throughput, Resource Utilization).
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Architects, Developers, DevOps, and Product Managers to identify root causes, troubleshoot performance bottlenecks, and recommend system tuning.
  • Reporting & Visibility: Prepare executive dashboards, performance analysis reports, and release quality sign-offs for client stakeholders.
• Team Enablement & Governance
  • Mentorship: Lead, code-review, and mentor QA engineers, setting coding standards for automation scripts.
  • Agile Execution: Manage sprint planning, effort estimation, and task allocation for testing deliverables in Jira.

What Sets You Apart

• Client-Facing Presence: Excellent verbal and written communication with demonstrated experience managing executive stakeholders and international clients.
• Strategic Problem-Solving: Ability to evaluate architecture, identify system bottlenecks, and suggest actionable performance tuning rather than just reporting errors.
• Self-Driven Leadership: Proactive mindset with a history of taking full ownership of enterprise delivery quality.

Requirements

• Experience: 10+ years in Quality Engineering, with 5+ years leading QA teams or functioning as a Lead Engineer.
• UI & API Automation: Deep hands-on proficiency in Playwright paired with TypeScript, JavaScript, or Java.
• Performance Testing: Solid experience designing and executing performance tests using Apache JMeter or k6, including analyzing server metrics (CPU, Memory, Network) and identifying bottlenecks.
• Tech Stack: Hands-on experience with REST API testing (Postman, Rest Assure, or Playwright API), Git, Docker, and CI/CD tools.
• Test Management: Strong mastery of Agile practices, test management tools (Jira/Xray/Zephyr), and defect lifecycle management.

Benefits

• Why Join Technoidentity?
• Work on high-impact, enterprise-scale, cloud-native solutions.
• Lead innovations at the intersection of Performance Engineering and AI-driven testing.
• Collaborative culture focused on continuous learning, mentorship, and accelerated career growth
